• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MDL size 0 byte

Hi Martin,

Do you still have trouble with the latest build?
 
Just completed the last tests, Arno. No, everything is working fine again. Thank you very much!
 
Glad to hear that. So the changes I made must have helped in some way :).
 
Hi Martin,

I have also added a check now on MDL export that gives an error if the decimal character is not the dot. This should help people figure out why things go wrong.
 
The next best thing after sliced bread and a built-in automatic decimal delimiter conversion function :D

This will surely help users running into this problem to figure out why, Arno.

Works fine, Arno. At first I waited for a msgbox telling me that I have the wrong decimal delimiter, but then I found it in the log file. When do you check the delimiter? Maybe a msgbox before the conversion would do no harm.

Personally I don't like message boxes so much, they are quite annoying :).

I now check the setting just before XtoMDL is called to make the MDL file. The rest of the program should work fine with the decimal character set to a comma as well. It is only the compiler by MS that does not like it. So I only check when it will be used.
